LaMeshia R. Billington

LaMeshia Billington serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements determination to contract award and administration. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional, scientific, and technical services, with a strong emphasis on research and development activities in physical, engineering, and life sciences. Billington routinely handles competitive solicitations under both full and open competition and small business set-asides, ensuring transparency, fairness, and regulatory adherence throughout the acquisition process. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse pool of professional services vendors, including consulting firms, R&D contractors, and technical service providers. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical competence, past performance, and compliance with socioeconomic requirements. Her working relationships reflect a preference for structured, performance-based contracting approaches that emphasize outcome-driven deliverables and clear statement of work definitions. Billington exhibits a clear preference for non-set-aside procurements, with 80% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 20% of her contracting activity to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures broad market access while fulfilling statutory obligations to promote small business growth without compromising competition or mission needs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712, encompassing research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences, reflecting deep expertise in scientific and technical services. She also regularly procures administrative management consulting (NAICS 541611) and other professional, scientific, and technical services (NAICS 541990), demonstrating proficiency in managing complex, knowledge-based acquisitions that support innovation and operational efficiency across federal missions.
